Freeze & Do2dtun Disagree On Igbo & Yoruba Girls

There has been some back and forth between Cool FM OAPs Daddy Freeze and Do2dtun.

It all started with Freeze adding his 2 cents to an initial statement was attributed to businessman, former Head of Sales of Smile Communications, now Sales Director at Internet Solutions, Chiekezi Dozie.

Responding to Freeze’s comments Dotun called him out as “going out of line and losing focus”.

Now, Freeze has responded again. Read below.

Dear @do2dtun,
I just saw your write up and I must say, it did come across as somewhat
disrespectful. However, like you clearly pointed out, we come a long
way & the respect is mutual.

Let me start first by defining a
cognitive bias called the ‘Negativity bias’ Where people tend to pay
more attention to bad news — and it’s not just because we’re morbid.
Social scientists theorize that it’s on account of our selective
attention and that, given the choice, we perceive negative news as being
more important or profound…..

I didn’t in anyway say Yoruba girls are
dirty or disrespectful, I only said Igbo girls are cleaner & more
respectful. If you didn’t have this Negativity bias against me, you
probably won’t see the argument from the angle you did. If I say that
Bill Gates is richer than Dangote, have I in anyway said Dangote was
poor? Hell NO!

We ask for freedom of speech and
democracy, but we can never achieve either, if every opinion shared is
turned into a ‘hate’ statement or a ‘racial slur’

I opened up a discussion after a post I
saw on Chiekezi Dozie’s page, discussing the same thing my neighbors
were arguing about all afternoon, and I asked for contributions, which I
am sure you could have done a little less dramatically, but hey, I
guess you were upset. In my write up, I clearly stated that my opinion
is based on my university and young bachelorhood experiences. I cannot
undo my past and I cannot ‘Un-live’ my experiences, if I had an
opportunity to, maybe I could be of a different opinion, but you can’t
unring a bell, they say.

For the sake of those who missed my initial point, here it is again,
when viewing a situation, lets be objective because sometimes we bring
out trouble that was never there in the first place.

One love bro!

My initial write I kinda
agree..especially since I am Yoruba myself…From my ‘little’ experience,
gathered during my university days and early bachelorhood and with body
count on both sides, (before I gave my life to Christ), I can, through
my own experience, say that Igbo girls are so much cleaner, more
respectful, value marriage more, less argumentative and problematic,
treat husbands….

Dotun has also taken to Instagram to respond to Freeze’s post. See below:

We don’t eat from banters. Na food be that? Ko kan aiye mehn! There are so many things we haven’t seen in our
lifetime that we still pray to God to give us, we don’t find them in
stereotypical statements, comments or opinions. It’s in the BANK. The
word “it is my opinion” has been the most overused line in this day and
age. Someone wants to defend something that is clearly stupid,
unrealistic then it is allowed. Every man should have a boundary and if
we must say all the things on our mind, na die be that. You are not what
you write, you are what you do. When someone represents all of us and
decides to lose the ball every time then you will know what I mean.
Let’s all demonstrate what’s possible, create leaders and not followers.
Aiye! kan lo wa …. am I allowed to say this is my opinion too.
Honestly, nobody cares! … pls who you epp? You don baff? No time.#DemonsOfAllTribeMatter
